Black Holes ~ Amanda D.
Black holes I found to be very confusing. After awhile though all of the research started to click, and I began to understand it. They were very cool to learn about and how many people over exaggerate what they really are. A concept that I began to understand is the point of singularity, this point continues to expand because matter can never be destroyed, so when the matter is sucked in it isn't gone but, rather it is added to the point of singularity, and that point grows, as well as the gravitional pull of that area. A white hole is the exact opposite of a black hole. In fact scientist oare not sure that they even exist. If they did however, it is said that these are the oppopsite of black holes and instead of sucking in they push out, and that would mean that matter looks as if it is spewing out of the hole.

Nice information, it really helped get your point through. I also liked how you included a visual so that someone who doesn't know much about black holes would get a picture of how they are set up.
ReplyDeleteI think that you did a very nice job explaining black holes in a very simple form. Black holes can be hard to explain but I think that you did a very good job in making them eaisy to understand!
